Reply #4: I own a taser [View All]

[Xithras]

And I've nailed myself with it TWICE, so I know how much it hurts, but I don't understand the move against them. These people keep saying that Tasers haven't been tested on the human body, which simply isn't true...tasers deliver an electrical jolt no different than you'd receive from any other electrical device, and the effects of electricity on the human body have been heavily studied over the past century.

Do they occasionally kill people? Yes, people with electrical problems with their heart can be killed by jolts as small as those from a 9 volt battery. But what's the alternative when someone is fighting and resisting? Going back to billyclubs and sidearms?
